Did you pay the final bill to the Outfitter with cash or credit?
Dip and ship company cash or credit?
Don't leave money in your room.
If you decide to take cash you can't get out of the country with more than $10,000.00 in your pocket.
As soon as you get to the farm give it to the outfitter so he can put it in a safe.
Dip and Ship will let you pay with CC and normally you will never meet them.
It is something that gets sorted out once you are back home.

Dip and Ship comes later, after you are home and they can usually take credit cards or they will have a US bank account as well that you can make a deposit into.

I would check with your outfitter and see what they recommend. I took travelers cheques.
You may take over $10k in cash but you do have to report it through customs.

Thanks everyone
I guess I need to call them, it says on Dries Visser website that the bill needs to be settled the last day before leaving the office.
I don't mind paying cash but am worried about carrying that much money and they have a 3% credit card fee. Of course that would be some Cabela's point......

Take a flash drive or memory stick. Your guide will take a million great photos and you'll want to take them home with you.
I assume you're bow hunting, but if not, 30.06 is a great round. Plus, you can tip your guides with ammo. I've also tipped my guides with hunting boots, clothes, bino's, etc...all of which is very expensive across the pond.
If you're traveling with a firearm, I highly recommend RiflePermits.com. Henry and his team are excellent. Its euphoric when they walk you to front of the customs line and you by-pass a sea of humanity.
If you have an AmEx card, check into their Priority Pass service. It gives you and your traveling companions free access to a host of airport hospitality lounges...free food and free booze.
I'll PM you my cell and give me a shout if you'd like to BS. Lastly, I couldn't be more happy for you...you're gonna love it.

It may take me a while to be able to talk I’ve been sick for two months now with little to no voice, but if you could pm my your number I would love to talk As soon as I’m able.
Unfortunately I have to rifle hunt, shoulders wont let me bow hunt anymore..I’m just all jacked up anymore sold all my bow hunting equipment, so I’ll be taking my 300wby mag.
Thanks for all the help!
